Emerging Leaders 2011 Team G Core Genres to Collect The fluid nature of the videogame industry renders any core genre list outdated very quickly, thus making any list extremely difficult to compile. As a result, we concentrate on offering a genre-level list of core games, with the caution to always remain flexible in offerings. We focus on the following five genres: Social, Narrative, Action, Knowledge, and Strategy. Social : Games that require some degree of socialization. o Party games: Games that require two or more players. • Wii: Mario Party, Super Monkey Balls, Rayman Raving Ribbids • PS3: Little Big Planet, Lemmings, • XBOX 360: Portal o Strategy games: Games with an emphasis on problem solving. • Wii: Battalion Wars 2, Pikmin 2 • PS3: Record of Agarest War • XBOX 360: Command and Conquer, Civilization Revolution Narrative: Games that have a storyline and requires a player to embody a character in context. o Role-Playing Games (RPGs): Games that uses character development as the main part of the game. It can be turned based or real-time action based combat. A key part of the RPG is for the character to increase the inventory, wealth, or statistics of the character during the progression of the game. • Wii: Tales of Symphonia • PS3: Final Fantasy, Fallout, Dragon Age, Elder Scroll • XBOX 360: Fable III, Dungeon Siege, Mass Effect Action: Games that require movement, quick thinking, and reflexes. o Rhythm games: Game play uses music as timing. • Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Dance Dance Revolution o Wii, Kinect, Move games: Games that are especially designed to use the new system. • Wii: Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Sports Resort • PS3: Sports Champions • XBOX 360: Kinect Sports, Forza Motorsports 4 o Sports games: Any game involving sports. • Any EA Sports title o Fighting games: Classic hand to hand combat games. • Street Fighter, Mortal Combat, Marvel vs. Capcom o Shooter games: These can be from a 1st person or 3rd person perspective. • Call of Duty, Halo, Medal of Honor o Adventure: Games that feature a story, usually driven by the character and the game environment. • Wii: Lego, Broken Sword, Sonic, Mario, Zelda • PS3: Grand Theft Auto, Uncharted • XBOX 360: LA Noire, Transformers, Lara Croft Knowledge: Games that make knowledge fun (i.e. trivia, game shows, etc.) • Mario Party, Sim City, Family Feud Strategy: Games that require a player to make decisions (e.g. area control, trading, role selection, worker placement, tile placement, route planning, etc.) to affect the outcome of the game. • Yugi-Oh, Pokemon, Command and Conquer, Civilizations, Poker .

UBISOFT Creator of Worlds: How Signiant Helps Power Ubisoft’S Global Game Development
CASE STUDY UBISOFT Creator of Worlds: How Signiant helps power Ubisoft’s global game development Ubisoft is well-known as a global leader in video-game production and publishing. For the millions who play games like Assassin’s Creed, Just Dance, Tom Clancy’s series, Rayman, Far Cry and Watch Dogs, Ubisoft creates worlds that are intensely engaging, fun and meaningful. But developing such immersive experiences and staying relevant in the increasingly competitive gaming market requires an equally intense production and delivery process. Founded more than 30 years ago in France, Ubisoft has the largest in-house game development staff in the world, with more than 15,000 team members from 95 nationalities spread across over 40 global studios. +1 781.221.4051 | WWW.SIGNIANT.COM More consoles, larger files, and long distances heighten pressure on game-development pipelines Today’s game development pipeline is far more complex than it was even five years ago. An increasing number of consoles from companies like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo require multiple versions of each game to be created and tested. And emerging display standards like 4K, HDR and VR mean managing enormous file sizes. “When we produce a game, it typically involves hundreds of people, programmers, artists, game designers and testers, from multiple studios around the world working on the same game, including a lead studio and several co-development studios,” says Li Xiao Song, Ubisoft Service Manager. Everyone working on a game needs to receive each new version, so they can run it, see what has been done and test it.

Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: the Case of the Videogame Industry Par Shoma Patnaik
HEC MONTRÉAL Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: The Case of the Videogame Industry par Shoma Patnaik Sciences de la gestion (Option International Business) Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de maîtrise ès sciences en gestion (M. Sc.) Décembre 2017 © Shoma Patnaik, 2017 Résumé Ce mémoire a pour objectif une analyse des deux tendances très pertinentes dans le milieu du commerce d'aujourd'hui – l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation. L'innovation de rupture (en anglais, « disruptive innovation ») est particulièrement devenue un mot à la mode. Cependant, cela n'est pas assez étudié dans la recherche académique, surtout dans le contexte des affaires internationales. De plus, la théorie de l'innovation de rupture est fréquemment incomprise et mal-appliquée. Ce mémoire vise donc à combler ces lacunes, non seulement en examinant en détail la théorie de l'innovation de rupture, ses antécédents théoriques et ses liens avec l'internationalisation, mais en outre, en situant l'étude dans l'industrie des jeux vidéo, il découvre de nouvelles tendances industrielles et pratiques en examinant le mouvement ascendant des jeux mobiles et jeux en lignes. Le mémoire commence par un dessein des liens entre l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation, sur le fondement que la recherche de nouveaux débouchés est un élément critique dans la théorie de l'innovation de rupture. En formulant des propositions tirées de la littérature académique, je postule que les entreprises « disruptives » auront une vitesse d'internationalisation plus élevée que celle des entreprises traditionnelles. De plus, elles auront plus de facilité à franchir l'obstacle de la distance entre des marchés et pénétreront dans des domaines inconnus et inexploités.

Active video games, active gaming, interactive games, movement-controlled video games, exertion games, and exergaming are terms used to define the kinds of video games in which the exertion interface enables a new experience. Exergames have added a component of physical activity to the otherwise motionless video game environment and have the potential to contribute to physical education classes by supplementing the current activity options and increasing student enjoyment. The use of exergames in schools has already shown positive results in the past through their potential to fight obesity. As for the pedagogical aspects of exergames, they have attracted educators’ attention due to the large number of games and activities that can be incorporated into the curriculum. In this way, the school must consider the development of a new physical education curriculum in which the key to promoting healthy physical activity in children and youth is enjoyment, using video games as a tool.

Ubisoft Assassins Brand Announcement EN
UBISOFT LAUNCHES NEW VIDEO GAME FRANCHISE: ASSASSIN’S CREED™ Ubisoft’s Award-Winning Montreal Studio Creates New Intellectual Property Paris FRANCE – May 2, 2006 – Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, announced the development of a new video game franchise: Assassin’s Creed™. Assassin’s Creed is being developed for PLAYSTATION®3 by an all-star team from Ubisoft’s world-class Montreal studio – the studio responsible for acclaimed franchises such as Prince of Persia ® and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell ®. The Assassin’s Creed franchise will combine compelling new gameplay, superb graphics, and an immersive and sophisticated storyline to deliver an epic experience that will launch the action genre into the next generation and beyond. “Assassin’s Creed is going to push the video game experience as we know it today into an entirely new direction,” said Yannis Mallat, chief executive officer at Ubisoft’s Montreal studio. “Assassin’s Creed’s compelling theme and storyline experienced through the next- generation console will captivate audiences and affect them on the same level as an epic novel or film.” The first game in the Assassin’s Creed franchise is set in 1191 AD, when the Third Crusade was tearing the Holy Land apart. Shrouded in secrecy and feared for their ruthlessness, the Assassins intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict. Players, assuming the role of the main character Altair, will have the power to throw their immediate environment into chaos and to shape events during this pivotal moment in history. Ubisoft has a strong record of creating some of the industry’s top-selling video game franchises and anticipates that Assassin’s Creed will experience the same success.
